Official-source handling: Dates are from the Lamar CISD 2026-2027 Student Instructional Calendar, board approved February 18, 2025. We manually review first-party district material, screen it for student-facing dates, and organize it into key dates, calendar grids, downloadable files, and printable summaries. Because this page is marked official, families can use it as the main planning view while still checking the district source for late revisions. User-submitted corrections are checked against official district sources before this page is updated.
